A note on Cullen Numbers and Their Representations as Products of Jacobsthal Numbers

Öz

In this paper, we investigate the Diophantine equation where denotes the Cullen number and denotes the Jacobsthal sequence. Combining the explicit formula with quantitative growth bounds for the Jacobsthal numbers, we show that all solutions satisfy . As a consequence, the problem reduces to the equations or depending on the parity of .

We then solve these equations explicitly. In particular, we prove that an infinite family of solutions arises when is a power of 2, while the remaining case admits only a trivial solution. As a result, we obtain a complete classification of Cullen numbers that can be expressed as products of two Jacobsthal numbers. The methods employed in this work rely on elementary properties of linear recurrence sequences and exponential growth comparisons. These techniques may be adapted to study similar Diophantine equations involving other special number sequences defined by linear recurrences.
